Rock Garden Lounge Pillow | An Art Gallery Fabrics Project

I haven't been making too much lately, but I did take some time to sew together this fantastic lounge pillow recently and I absolutely adore it! It's made from the gorgeous new Rock 'n Romance line by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics, and I made the free project pattern available over on the Art Gallery Fabrics blog today.

I'd love to be able to share some of this amazing new fabric with a lucky reader! Want to win a fat quarter bundle of Rock 'n Romance? Simply leave a comment on this post and I'll randomly select a winner later this week. Since I haven't been around much this summer, I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to. What's your best memory of this past summer?

favourite memory this summer...that's a long time ago already! visiting with my mother and sisters in Victoria BC in August, and finishing up a quilt (for one of my sisters) with my mother. I'd love some of this Rock'n Romance fabric! I've been drooling over it since it was released!

Oh I love the Rock n' Romance! Thanks for hosting the giveaway! My favorite memory from the summer was the visit from my nieces (they're 1 and 3). We went to the aquarium, drew pictures in the driveway with sidewalk chalk, and made a castle cake, complete with Disney princesses and Queen Elizabeth - it was as awesome as it sounds!!

I love that cushion! My summer memories revolve around the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic/Paralympic games - it was a wonderful summer to be in the UK!P.S. And, of course, FQR 2012! I wasn't there but I followed every minute on Twitter, etc!

Beautiful fabric! My summer memories are the Olympics too. Our son-in-law won a gold in the Olympics and our daughter was able to go to London with him. We were able to celebrate with them when they returned home.

That pillow is amazing. The colours of the fabric are "rockin". My summer plans to visit Nashville (Lipscomb University where my daughter was offered a soccer scholarship) were squashed when my daughter (17 yr. old) tore her ACL playing rep soccer. eliz.i@sympatico.ca

That is a great looking pillow! The fabric is gorgeous. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

The summer was fabulous and I managed to get hooked on straight line quilting. I've made a few table runners for friends as gifts and now I am making one for me! Very simple but the quilting effect really makes the runners look fabulous.

My husband and I went on vacation to Walt Disney World and then on the Disney Dream Carribean cruise. The highlight was spending time with him and not getting sea sick! Thanks for the give away - love your pillow!

I have loved everything I've seen made in Rock n Romance. Awesome line. Love your pillow. Been sewing a lot this summer but my favorite memory may be starting a modern quilt guild in our area. So excited.

I'd love a chance to win some fabric! I'm moving today and it would be nice to have some cool new things to play with in my cool old home. (I'm moving in with my Dad at my childhood home to give him some security and care. He's only 90!!!)

Awesome pillow, John! I love the Heartbreaker Rock n Romance colorway, but Dreammaker is right up there, too! And oh, the summer -- I have no idea what happened to it, where do those days go :D? I learned how to use my sewing machine, perhaps that's where the time went :D!

Love the Art Gallery fabrics! Went back home for my 50th reunion from Grammar school. It was a lot of fun and since my husband had never been to Chicago we had some cool days in the loop too. Thanks for the chance to win some fabric.Hope your summer was great too!

The Dreammaker colorway is really awesome. Maybe because I like soft rock, but more likely it's those teenage dreams of romance.I got to help my son with his first garden. Those tomatoes he shared were awesome!

Today my god daughter told me she wanted a pillow for her day bed for Christmas, and ie been searching for a good tutorial all day. I've just found it! I'd love to win the fabric to make this for her, but hey, if I don't, I'm buying it and making it anyway!

Wow, I would love to win.This summer has been a wonderful one because it is the first summer in our family with two children running around, playing in the garden, mostly getting on and often falling out over nothing. Our second child just turned 2 this summer, so now big sis has a real playmate. Bliss.

I love the pillow, but don't seem to have many fantastic memories of this summer - my sister was getting close to giving birth, but my niece didn't actually appear unti September. And apart from that, my summer was spent applying for jobs in the company restructure. All very stressfull, but they offered me the job of my dreams on Friday. So I've forgotten the whole summer now - autumn's much more spectacular.

Sad, sad I know... But my summer was all about work as a company approached me in June, July was all about wrapping up my old job and August 1st i started in my new job. Luckily I did manage quite a bit of seeing too :)

For me it's last winter as we're just coming into summer here in New Zealand. I think the best memory was when we got snow that closed down school for a few days, but didn't cause power cuts. There was an amazing snowman on our lawn and a roaring fire to keep us warm indoors.

Best memory of the summer: no after school grandniece sitting. We actually had some time for quilting and could leave the cutting station on the dining table without having to keep things away from curious kids. Thanks for the chance - great looking pillow for your girlie wild child.

My best memory of this past summer is having our whole family together for the first time in many years. My brothers were home and we got a picture of our families with my dad. The last time we were together was 12 years ago under sad circumstances, now there are grandchildren to add to the family picture:)

thank you

Love what you did with the fabrics! Hmm my best memory, was sitting out in the backyard on a sunny day on a quilt I made while hand quilting another quilt I made while my husband hung out with me and read.

I absolutely love this fabric! My LQS doesn't carry Art Gallery Fabrics (yet), but I am hoping to convince them they need to! My summer was filled with lots of days at the pool because it was so hot here! I'm actually really looking forward to snow, which is not normal for me at all! ;) Thanks for the chance to win!

Love the hearbreaker colorway, speaks to my Pat Benetar obsession in the 1980's....dating myself??? My favorite memory of this summer would have to be hosting my Dad's 70th birthday with all my sisters , their significant others and most of the kids!

Favorite memory of the summer has to be our family's two week road trip from the West Coast to Yellowstone. I have fond memories of a similar trip when I was a kid and it was wonderful to be able to share it with my daughter.

Thanks for the chance to win this fabric. I'm really liking the florals in this line - not super sweet and a bit edgy. Very cool!

Fun pillow! Beautiful fabric. Summer...I don't think my memory goes back that far. Summer seems like it was ages ago with all the school projects, homework, and trips to and from the ballet studio- we're in full Nutcracker Christmas time rehearsals around here! :)

Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee watching the sun rise and nature come to life. My favorite quilt memory is making a quilt for my daughter bedore she passed away in my arms. I love all these fabrics so hard to choose a favorite babscorbitt@gmail.com

I took a beginning quilting class in 1985 with my mother. I was a newlywed, and this was before rotary cutters and strip piecing. I learned the laborious way to cut squares and triangles from cardboard templates, and not surprisingly, I didn't have much fun. A few years later I got a rotary cutter and started quilting in earnest. However, measuring, tracing, cutting and matching seamlines with my beloved mom is a memory more precious than gold!

I had a great time this summer on my first trip to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, UK. I'm just getting in to patchwork so had a great time looking at the beautiful exhibitions, going to workshops, and, of course, stocking up the fabric stash!

We went camping and it was an experience to remember. It started with our fellow camper next to us who got busted by a US Marshal and a car chase right before that. Our kids thought it was the most exciting thing ever!

Totally in love with Rock 'n Romance!! Beautiful pillow - I want to make one just like it!!! Alas, summer has come and gone and the rains are arriving; just the perfect time to settle indoors and sew! Thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize!

Pretty pillow! Did you make the flowers, too? My favorite memory from this summer was seeing my older son getting married in Portland, OR and giving them their wedding quilt. Haven't heard much from you lately, John.

One of my favorites moments this summer was going to the zoo with my little family. It was great! Thanks for the chance I love this fabric and your pillow! Oh and I would have to say I love the Dream Maker colorway :)

I got to see New Mexico for the first time......temps over 100 are not for me :0) but what a beautiful part of our country it sso different than the Northeast where I live.Thanks for the chance to win some of that yummy fabric Rock'n Romance!

I do believe that my favorite memory from this past summer was watching our daughter discover that grass is an okay plant to walk on. We encouraged her by placing her a few feet away from her pool. Once she realized that the grass was just fine to play/walk on we were off.

We had a baby in the middle of June so I don't really remember much of this summer! It's all a haze! The best memory is seeing the kids faces as they saw their new brother for the first time.Love the Heartbreaker colourway.Love your work John.

Ahah, best part of summer was doing my best to not be the mosquito's late-afternoon lunch :P Easily done by staying indoors sewing, making canvas insultation covers for our water pipes (preventing frozen water pipes). And visiting the NW area N.C. Blue Ridge Pkwy! Even the air is beautiful up there :D

Summer is just starting here in Australia and I am loving it... afternoon walks with hubby and our little girl after hubby gets home from work when we still have 2 or 3 hours of sunshine. Yes we go to bed far to late and eat dinner far to late but I love the sunshine in the evening.

What a pretty pillow! This summer was spent building our new home...it's finally done...just have to finish unpacking and decorating (your pillow is a great inspiration!) Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)

Welcome Back!!! :) If we can still enter this drawing...I'd looove the chance to win! :)

We went to New Hampshire with dear Friends, tho was October. Was Awesome!!! ( exciting Summer news here, was hearin cancer had NOT returned this time, and restructuring my nose started!! Yay! Not finished yet..but before this next summer gets here! )
